Being known around the world as the ‘sun burnt' country is no doubt a catchy tourist hook but not so much fun when it comes to the human occupants that must inhabit the sometimes-extreme UV conditions.
In Australia, sun-related skin issues are at the forefront of many health concerns, and it is generally agreed that when it comes to medical issues, intervening in the early stages can often make treatment that much easier to manage.

For optimal skin health, knowing your risk and keeping up with regular checks (including self-checks at home and with a professional here in our clinic), can bring attention to any issues just beginning.

But when we talk about noticing and reporting changes on your skin what does that really mean? What exactly do you look for?

To simplify things, did you know that you can apply the ABCDE’s policy to your skin?

A for Asymmetry: One half of the mole doesn’t match the other.
B for Border: Edges are irregular, ragged, or blurred.
C for Colour: Varies from one area to another—shades of tan, brown, black, purple, sometimes white, red, or blue.
D lesions can be for Diameter: Larger than 6mm (about the size of the end of a pencil), although some can be smaller.
E for Evolving: Any change in size, shape, or colour.

Or apply EFG
EFG for Elevated, Firm and Growing.

The best care policy is to stay vigilant with self-examinations and make professional skin checks a regular part of your health routine by booking your next examination today!

As many know, late last month our GV Skin team participated in The Pyjama Foundation's Pyjama Day annual fundraiser.
On the day we donned our most grooviest fun scrubs and had good laughs at some patient's reactions to our 'out of uniform day', with the response being overwhelmingly positive.
Not only did we raise a generous amount for this worthy children's charity, but we also got to sit down and have lunch together (a rare thing indeed) and decided moving forward we would instigate a 'Casual Scrubs Day' once a week. 🥳

If you are due for or have been putting off making your annual skin check appointment, or have just discovered a spot that needs further investigation and would like to catch us in our colours, dots, elves, hearts, ice creams, owls or even sheep (!) then why not make a booking today?

It was a busy couple of days for GV Skin last week!
We started with a clinic breakfast, some team photo shots with The Shepp News and participated in Pyjama Day (another post about that coming soon!).
The week finished with a clinic dinner on Friday night to welcome our new staff (along with their families).
Since the beginning of this year, we have added 7 staff members!
Practicing with us now are Dr Naga Battershetty, Dr Sumitha Rajendra Kumar and Dr Ayotunde Awosolu, along with our new Dermoscopist Olivia Gleeson.
Stephanie has joined our fantastic nursing team and Kellianne & Liz have joined Leah at reception to make up our 3-member admin team, with welcome greetings when you first walk in!
Lots of great changes have happened in just a short space of time that we are truly excited about and just watch this space for even more to come! 🥳

If you're currently (or even past) due for a skin check or you've seen a spot you're concerned about, please come in and see us as we have appointments available now:

This year on 28th July, our GV Skin team (henceforth to be known as The Mole Patrol 😆) are participating in The Pyjama Foundation's National Pyjama Day!

Along the way so far, we have even managed to make the top 5 fundraising workplaces across Australia!
And with some time left until the big day, we hope we can do even better 🥳

If you find you can spare a couple of dollars why not come along with us to help this worthy children's charity and maybe we can even boost The Mole Patrol into the Number 1 Fundraiser spot along the way!!

The work family that CPR's together, saves lives together!
Last week the GV Skin Team undertook training to make sure we can look after you not only when it comes to your skin health, but in the case of a medical emergency too.
From the Doctor's and Nurses, through to our Admin/Reception team, we all took our turns completing the Online Assessment questionnaire and then the practical skill demonstration.
It was a huge relief that we all managed successfully save the lives of 'Big Jim' and 'Little Fifi''!
Interesting fact - did you know that you can download an emergency service app that can help the responders get to you quickly and accurately, with lots of information available?
